Long announced on the side of Olympique de Marseille on the occasion of the last transfer window, the Rennes striker, M’Baye Niang (25 years old, 8 appearances and 1 goal in all competitions this season), had seen the Marseille coach André Villas-Boas break his dreams by declaring that the Senegalese international was not in his sights for financial and sporting reasons (see here). On Wednesday, OM goes to Rennes for the 15th day of Ligue 1 and AVB expects to find an over-motivated Niang and perhaps a bit of revenge.
“Niang, it’s rather a surprise because it was rather clear that Rennes wanted to get rid of him. They all regained the motivation. He is a good player, he is confident. He will have ambitions in this match- there, “warned the technician at a press conference.
In the process of regaining his starting position following the injury of Serhou Guirassy, the former Milanese scored his first goal of the season on Sunday against Nice (1-0).
